Chapter 44: Keep Moving Forward
Although he thought so in his heart, for someone like Rito, it was obvious that business was the priority.
He led the villagers to collect the bodies of the villagers. After seeing the skeletons in the pot, he directly killed the Noxian soldiers who were knocked unconscious by Shen.
He acted quickly, and the villagers in the village had no intention of stopping him, so the remaining Noxian soldiers were buried here forever.
The villagers buried their bodies in the wilderness, not with their relatives.
Because when they counted the number of people, they found that half of the young women in the village had died, and the young and strong men were almost all dead. Only some women and the elderly, as well as the hungry boys, were left.
This is also something that Li Ke cannot handle.
If he were asked to kill those Noxians, he would certainly be able to do it, but taking care of hundreds of mouths and hundreds of people who need clothes is not something he can handle now.
Lito took these people away and returned to the town under his jurisdiction. Although Irelia was reluctant, she had to leave with her father.
Although the time they spent together was very brief, Li Ke's image was firmly engraved in her mind. She had originally planned to leave some tokens of friendship between her and Li Ke, but unfortunately, Rito was too stubborn and she failed.
So Irelia didn't even have time to say goodbye to Li Ke before she was taken away by Lito.
Shen exuded a murderous aura as he looked at the villagers who were leaving the village and listened to their cries. He felt extremely confused.
He once felt that after experiencing the incident with the Golden Demon, he was able to ignore the tragedies in the human world and only focus on the balance between the spiritual world and the human world.
But the facts told him that he couldn't do it.
However, due to his father's expectations and his reputation, the filial son could not imagine the consequences of not becoming a disciple of Hengjie.
So he was so confused that he chose to change the subject.
He looked at Li Ke who was watching the convoy leave, pretending nothing happened and forced a joke.
"If you can invite Rito well, I think you can become his son-in-law."
Li Ke just smiled. He knew very well that the reason why Lito treated him badly was because he forced Irelia into a dispute that did not belong to her.
This is intolerable for any father.
So he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Rito did.
"But if that happens, more people will die. If I didn't know, it would be fine, but I do know. In life, what we seek is to have a clear mind, isn't it?"
Shen was stunned. He knew that Li Ke was trying to comfort him. However, due to the precepts of being a balanced disciple, he still spoke against his will.
“But there are still many things in this world that we need to stick to.”
Li Ke just smiled slightly.
"So do you think I did something wrong?"
As he spoke, he picked up a Noxian longsword, touched Yongen's sword in the sheath, and sighed helplessly.
He had no way of explaining this to Yongen.
Although the other party gave him the sword, the exchange of swords between swordsmen means entrusting one's wife and children to others. If I break the other person's sword, it would be like breaking his wife.
He also promised Yasuo that he would return Yongen's sword to him when he completed the mission.
The worst thing was that Yongen's sword made a wailing sound when it broke, which meant that the opponent and the magic in the sword had already reached a tacit understanding.
In the words of Xianxia, this sword already has a sword spirit...
This is even worse.
But this is not the time to think about such things. I think Yongen will forgive himself after he knows what happened to me.
With his personality, even if he feels bad, he will forgive himself with a smile, right?
Li Ke thought about it and felt that Yongen would most likely forgive him with a smile.
After all, he is a good guy, a particularly honest child .
That's really terrible.
He touched the broken blade in his bag again. If he met a good repairman, he might be able to repair the sword. But the price was definitely a huge sum of money.
"No."
Shen replied to Li Ke, but what he never expected was that when he felt that Li Ke was worried about him, Li Ke was only worried about his own wallet.
"Then don't think too much. Compared to this, we should set off."
Li Ke sighed and picked up a few Noxian swords from the ground.
He had a hunch that as long as he needed the extremely powerful attack power brought by the ultimate weapon, he would have to prepare a large number of swords for use at any time.
At least he couldn't think of saving money until he learned the weapon restraint in the world of Arad, a skill that specifically reduced the durability consumption of weapons.
Li Ke tied these standard Noxian swords with ropes and carried them on his back.
But what made him at a loss for words was that there were exactly five Noxian standard longswords that were still intact and could be used directly.
And thinking about his current strength, he can only be used as a Shen or a support...
"So, I have now grasped the true meaning of swordsmanship? I am already supporting myself with five swords on my back?"
Li Ke felt a little dizzy.
Although he did not touch the power of fluctuations, blood, and ghosts and gods for safety reasons when simulating the Arad continent, this does not mean that he wants to make a character with these five swords on his back and jump back with the assistance of sword energy!
Even though the name Sword God sounds nice, its attack power is not that strong!
Swordsmanship has its limits!
"What nonsense are you talking about? We should get going."
Shen patted Li Ke speechlessly and pulled the carriage over.
He did not take the weapons and equipment of the Noxians because the cheapest equipment he had was better than those on the ground.
On the contrary, Li Ke, in order to be on the safe side, not only looted all the Noxian weapons, but also took a few spears, a shield and a set of leather armor.
"Also, what's going on with you? Are you disguising yourself as a hedgehog?"
Looking at Li Ke's embarrassing appearance, Shen really wanted to say, "Don't be like this. When we get to the next town, I will pay for you to buy some good equipment."
But he thought about it and felt that Li Ke was a man with his own dignity, and it was not good for him to insult him with money like this.
So I gave up the idea.
However, just when he gave up this idea, Li Ke suddenly sensed something and grabbed Shen's hand that was trying to drive the carriage.
"Wait, Shen, I seem to feel that someone wants to support me just now. Wait for me, I want to find that beautiful rich loli."
Li Ke's intuition was very accurate, he had indeed felt this just now.
"…I won't care about you."
Shen suddenly felt that his father asking him to follow Li Ke might be a mistake.
